N2 - Although interactive segmentation helps lower the degree of human intervention, further upgrade to increase the efficiency and intuitiveness of interactive segmentation method remains requisite. Invariably, newly acquired medical images are not segmented instantly by radiologists due to heavy work load. Therefore, improvement can be made by capitalizing on the time interval between image acquisition and image segmentation. We proposed to pre-generate non-cartilage seeds during this time interval so the labeling process can be simplified. This enhanced interactive segmentation decreases processing time required by a radiologist without compromising the quality of original segmentation quality. Future works should focus on developing automatic pre-generation of different types of cartilage labels.
